DOLPHINS
Dolphins are my favorite animals. Dolphins are one of the most intelligent animals in
the world. I like dolphins, because they are cute and friendly to humans.

Dolphins have smooth, rubbery skin and are usually colored in some mixture of black,
white, and gray. They have two flippers or fins on their sides, as well as a triangular fin on
the back. They also have an insulating layer of blubber beneath the skin. Dolphins have
excellent eyesight and hearing. In underwater, they use echolocation. Echolocation is kind of
like sonar, where dolphins make a sound and then listen to the echo. Dolphins are mammals
that live in the ocean. They called as mammals because they breath oxygen with lungs and
give birth and breastfeeding their child. They are part of cetacean family besides whale.
Dolphins have many kinds of size. The smallest dolphin, which is Māui’s dolphin or popoto
and the largest is Bottlenose Dolphin. They range in size from 2 m – 5 m and 135 kg – 635
kg. Dolphins have some unique skin that able to reduce friction with water. That makes them
can swim very fast. They also have some communication system to communicate and receive
excitatory called sonar system. Dolphins also can communicate like humans. They are
communicating using infrasonic sounds.

Most species of dolphins prefer the warmer waters of the tropic zone, but some prefer
colder climates. Dolphins mostly eat some smaller fish and squid. They usually hunt together
and some of them will share their food with the young or let the young catch injured prey
practice. Dolphins don’t chew on their food. They swallow it whole and get water from the
animals that they eat, rather than drinking ocean water.
